How to choose the right Banquet Trolleys

• Assess the number of covers you serve per function and choose trolley capacity and shelf configuration to match peak service.
• Check gastronorm compatibility, ensuring the trolley suits your existing 1/1, 2/1 or mixed GN pan sizes for efficient workflow.
• Decide between heated, insulated or ambient models depending on whether you need to hold hot food, plated meals or cold dishes.
• Measure doorways, lifts and corridors so the trolley footprint, height and turning circle fit your venue layout.
• Consider build quality, brand and insulation level if you run frequent banquets, room service or off-site catering.
• Look for user-friendly features such as ergonomic handles, strong bumpers and lockable castors for safe operation.

Care and maintenance

• Clean interior shelves, runners and doors after each service with food-safe detergent, then rinse and dry thoroughly.
• Avoid abrasive pads on stainless steel surfaces; use soft cloths to prevent scratching and maintain a professional finish.
• Regularly inspect door seals, hinges and latches on heated cabinets to ensure efficient heat retention and safe operation.
• Check castors, brakes and bumpers frequently, tightening fixings and replacing worn parts to keep trolleys stable and easy to steer.
• If fitted with heating elements or controls, schedule periodic electrical safety checks and follow manufacturer servicing guidelines.
• Store trolleys in a dry, ventilated area and avoid overloading to extend lifespan and protect welds and frames.
